feat(hslm): scientific metrics integration (V42) (#415)

HSLM Scientific Metrics Integration (~620 LOC):

- Sacred constants inline: PHI, PHI_INV, PHI_SQ, PHI_INV_SQ, PHI_INV_CUBED
- Statistical functions: mean, variance, stdDev, stdError
- Confidence intervals: CI95, CI99
- Welch's t-test implementation (full)
- Cohen's d effect size with sacred variant
- Learning rate schedules:
  * Sacred exponential decay: lr = lr₀ · φ^(-t/φ)
  * Sacred cosine: lr = lr₀ · (1 + cos(πt/φ)) / 2
  * Sacred warmup: linear warmup + sacred decay
- NeurIPS table generator for paper submission
- Loss functions: sacred MSE, sacred cross-entropy
- Perplexity: sacredPerplexity(loss) and lossToPerplexity(loss)

This provides:
1. Complete statistical analysis framework for HSLM training
2. NeurIPS-ready table generation
3. Publication-ready comparison functions (Welch's test, Cohen's d)
4. Integration with sacred mathematics for φ-based optimization

Note: Zig 0.15 array_list API differs from std.ArrayList in some ways.
